How to Make a Milkshake
How to make a milkshake teaches you the perfect proportions of cream, whole milk, and ice cream for a milkshake that's easy, thick, creamy, classic, and indulgent as heck. And done in 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon superfine sugar, (or just blitz granulated sugar in a blender until finely ground but not powdery)
- Dash vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups uber premium ice cream, (vanilla, strawberry, chocolate, etc.)
- 1/3 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon very finely chopped nuts of any sorts
- Chocolate curls
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer or whisk, beat the cream until frothy. Continue whipping, gradually adding the sugar, until firm peaks form. Gently fold in the vanilla.
- In a blender, process the ice cream and milk until smooth, about 1 minute.
- Pour the milkshake into a tall glass. Either spoon a generous mound of the whipped cream on top or spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe it onto the milkshake. Sprinkle with the chopped nuts and chocolate curls and stick a straw in it. Originally published April 30, 2009.
